For this Sunday Kino Night, first up is Ritual (2000), the best-known and best-reviewed of Neon Genesis Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno’s live-action films. It centers on the attempts of an amateur filmmaker to connect with a teenage girl who he spots wandering the streets and muttering the same phrase every day. Romance ensues, along with Anno’s signature monologues on existentialism and so on. Looks pretty neat, so let’s check it out. Currently ranked #224 on Letterboxd’s Top 250 films of all time.

Next is My Darling Clementine (1946), a classic Western from the maestro himself, John Ford, whose work has never been shown on Hextube, until now. It is one of the many retellings of the story of real-life Old West lawman Wyatt Earp (here played by Henry Fonda) and the lead-up to the famous shootout at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. Considered one of Ford’s best films and one of the best Westerns ever.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
